Imagine if this happened to a child, or someone who’s got no knowledge about the topic. Your 600$ birthday gift will just rest in piss, because you bought a game someone had cloned previously, and there’s 0 way to know about it, until you’re already banned
Yeah, nobody buying used games will know that it was previously used for cloning. Hopefully they ease off on the bans until they can figure out a better idea on how to deal with MIG Switch.
There shouldn’t need to be a better way. There are lots of places where using a MIG cart is legal to download games you have already purchased from the physical cartridge.
It’s bullshit that they have somehow normalized the idea that they have the right to do this to paying customers in the first place.
Its legal as long as you don’t sell the original game. And as long as you don’t do that there isn’t a problem either. The issue stems from copying a game, selling the original and still use the copy. If no 2 copies of the same cartridge are online at the same time then there is no issue.
It’s legal. Even if you sell on the product after the fact. There’s no accounting for whether or not you kept your backup. They don’t know what happened to the file. Perhaps you sold the entire console, games and all. Perhaps you lost the physical cartridge and someone else found it and sold it. The point is, Nintendo shouldn’t be allowed to brick a physical device just because they feel like someone might have violated the law. They aren’t judge and jury.
